  • Page 15: Communication Procedure

    3-3. Communication Procedure 3-3-1. Outline of Communication All communication between CONTROLLER (PC, etc.) and DEVICE (PROJECTOR) is performed by the command block format. Communication is started by the issue of a command at CONTROLLER and ended when the return data is sent to CONTROLLER after DEVICE receives the command. CONTROLLER is prohibited from sending several commands at one time.

  • Page 16: Command Block Format

    3-6. Command Block Format The block format of Simplifi ed Command for RS-232C as shown in the fi gure below. In this section, the block format for Simplifi ed Command is provided. 3-6-1.
